I found this list of things blog that I could sum up as good marital advice. And some of these if not most can be applied to relationships. It’s good advice so I’d thought I’d share it with my married friends and those people planning to get married someday Enjoy!

One Hundred Things

One hundred things.

So much I want to share with her. So many things that I want her to know.

But what do I say? And where to begin? I thought we had so much time and now here she is – no longer a child, but a lovely young woman. And it feels like it all happened so fast. How do I tell her everything she should know before that special day?

When she’s no longer my little girl, but some young man’s beautiful bride.

So, Dear Girl, let me begin to share those One Hundred Things…

1. Always choose love. Above all things. I Corinthians 13

2. Give him all your heart. Not only a part of it.

3. Laugh together. For the rest of your lives.

4. Forgive.“A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.” ` Ruth Bell Graham

5. And forget. Once it’s been forgiven, put it behind you and never pick it back up again.

6. Cling to each other in the hard times. Don’t let trials pull you apart, but bring you closer together instead.

7. Don’t let fear hold you back. Take risks and step out together.

8. Kiss him on the lips. Every day. For a long time.

9. Don’t try to change him. He’s a good man just as he is. He might have room to grow – but then again, so do you. Leave that work to the Holy Spirit.

10. Pray for him. Make it your daily ministry to lift him up before your Heavenly Father. He needs a praying wife.

11. Hold hands. When you’re walking together, when you’re driving together, and sometimes simply grab his hand for no reason.

12. Confide in him. Share with him your thoughts, your dreams, your fears, and your hopes. Never keep anything from each other.

13. Don’t be surprised when faced with a trial. It’s not something to tip-toe around, but something to walk through. So walk through it together.

14. Be quick to admit when wrong. Don’t waste a minute holding on to your pride.

15. Look for little ways to delight him. Be mindful of those small preferences of his.

16. Greet him with a loving smile. Who wouldn’t love coming home to that every night?

17. Allow him to make mistakes. Don’t hold it against him. “Everyone makes mistakes” applies to husbands too.

18. Protect your marriage. Set up safeguards together to keep things and people from harming what you’ve got.

19. Never leave off with the romance. It might not be the foundation of your love, but it sure makes for good glue.

20. Be sweet to him. He’ll always be glad for a little of that.

21. Care about your appearance. Not out of vanity, but in making an effort to put forth your best.
